NEWS: This is a heartbreaking story to wake up to.

A family has been left devastated after a father and his young son were both diagnosed with brain tumours – just months apart.

Lucy and Pete Gebruers, from Solihull, were heartbroken when doctors told them the bombshell news about seven-year-old Joshua.

He was diagnosed in January with an Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM), a tangle of blood vessels in the brain which puts sufferers at high risk of stroke.

But as the family struggled to come to terms with the life-changing news Pete, 42, was to suffer his own devastating diagnosis.

Days before Joshua’s radiotherapy was due to begin his father suffered a seizure at the wheel after collecting his son and daughter Amelia from Sharman’s Cross Junior School.

Luckily, the children escaped without injury in the car drama. But after a further seizure Pete was admitted to Heartlands Hospital where doctors discovered the cancerous brain tumour – a grade four glioma.

NEWS: This is our front page story today.

Six heroes from Aston Villa's 1957 FA Cup winning side may have died as a result of brain injuries sustained heading heavy caseballs, a pressure group believe.

The chilling list of casualties from the team that beat Manchester United 2-1 was uncovered by the family of West Bromwich legend Jeff Astle who died aged only 59, from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).

The cruel disease was known as dementia pugilistica until medics recently discovered it’s not restricted to punch drunk fighters. Footballers are among the list of sporting victims, their brains ravaged by the heavy impact of heading balls.

And those victims include almost half of Villa’s legendary cup winning side, Jeff’s widow Laraine and daughters Dawn and Claire believe.

The three women are the driving force behind Justice for Jeff, a campaign pressing for a foundation to help ex-players crippled by the condition.

They also want an independent inquiry into the real extent of the health problem among former players. They have seen first-hand the terrible price ex-players paid for their courage.
